[Cz-L] New Hebrew University of Jerusalem project on the Jewish history of Galicia and Bukovina

This comes from "Nu? What's New? - Vol. 11, No. 1 January 3, 2010",
an e-newsletter distributed by <www.avotaynu.com>.

New Website on Jewish Galicia and Bukovina
There is a new website on the Jewish history in Galicia and Bukovina
at <http://www.jewishgalicia.net/> . It is sponsored by the Leonid
Nevzlin Research Center for Russian and East European Jewry at the
Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

The site was launched just six months ago and currently concentrates
on the Stanislawow (Ivano-Frankivsk) region. The site includes
documentation of Jewish cemeteries, original texts and English
translations of archival documents and newspaper articles, interviews
with former Jewish residents and with local inhabitants, photographs
of Jewish sites in the region, etc. To date there are nearly 3,000
photographs and information about 1,700 Jews who lived in the area.
The site is constantly growing, For instance, the complete
documentation of the Jewish cemetery in Solotvyn (Solotwina) is being
uploaded, about 2,000 tombstones.

I visited the site. It is very attractive but its newness shows.
There are a number of technical problems. For example, when using the
Community Index, requesting all towns starting with a specific letter
of the alphabet always shows the first ten towns starting with
Bolshivtsi. Time will clean up the problems.

I look forward to seeing further expansions of this website, and some
of our list members may want to contact this group and let them know
what is taking place concerning preservation of Jewish history in
Bukovina.

Best wishes,

Bruce
